With over twenty years experience, Florida based photographer David Lawrence has been photographing architecture, transportation, construction, aviation, infrastructure and environmental projects for major engineering, architectural and marketing agency clients. Creating images of buildings, airports, bridges, highways, rail systems, energy projects, ports, industry, natural resources and agriculture. Along with the people who design them, build them and keep them running.

Aviation Photography

In a quest for capturing the spirt of flight, I have stood at the end of runways as jumbo jets roar overhead and mounted cameras on the wing tips of a Cessna. I have rode in the jump seat of a 747 and the basket of a hot air balloon along with ultralights, glider planes, helicopters, WW2 war birds, German biplanes and the Concorde.

I have photographed from the flight lines and ramp areas of busy international airports like Tampa, Boston, JFK, Orlando, Denver and Sydney Australia. I have flown solo in a Piper, jumped out of a perfectly good sky dive plane and "landed" a 737 flight simulator. I love to photograph "flying machines".

Architectural Photography

Structures are designed by people and for people. I strive to capture a sense of purpose and place. It may be found in the small details or in the relationship of a building to it's surroundings. There are times when a skewed angle feels more correct than precise ninety degree measurements

My architectural photography assignments are often in public spaces (airports, rail stations, libraries, retail and hospitality environments, etc.) ... And these locations are clients of my clients. I am comfortable in working with possible time constraints and security issues.

Experience allows me to seek out interesting viewpoints and create images for you that bring out the unique character and beauty of your project.

Aerial photography

Aerial photography is one of my specialities. I utilize both helicopters and drones (I am a FAA licensed sUAS drone pilot.) which allow us to fly "low and slow".

Since we are photographing through less haze and atmosphere, the images are bright and colorful. This really makes a difference in hot and humid climates ... like Florida. A lower altitude also allows for composing with a variety of interesting camera angles (you are not just seeing roof-tops).

An aerial photograph can provide a fresh new way to view your project.
